- Artemis II astronauts bet their lives on NASA's maths being right tonight: Crew will face a 24,000mph re-entry into Earth's atmosphere - with just a 3-INCH shield to protect them from the 2,760°C heat
Artemis II astronauts are relying on NASA's calculations for a critical re-entry maneuver at 24,000mph, facing extreme temperatures of 2,760°C. The crew's survival depends on a 3-inch shield protecting them from intense heat during atmospheric entry.
